Studia Theologica 2021, 23(3):1-17 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2021.0371280 
Ecumenical dialogue and pastoral ministry is a pressing summons for every Bishop to a specific apostolic duty in the new context of impacting the transformation of life, communal and personal, caused by the pandemic. The search for Christian unity has continued, and has made progress. One of the fruits of this is the new document of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity: The Bishop and Christian Unity. An Ecumenical Vademecum. The Bishop’s responsibility for promoting Christian unity is not to be looked for as the fruit of our own efforts; it is first and foremost a gift of the Holy Trinity to the Church. This does...

Veronika Řeháková
Studia Theologica 2021, 23(3):19-37 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2021.0081241
The aims of the article Matthias Joseph Scheeben and Christ’s Magisterial Office in His Major Writings are to present briefly the great German theologian of the nineteenth century M. J. Scheeben, to introduce the Christological titles treated in his main writings and especially to deal with Christ’s prophetic and magisterial office in light of the today’s Christological and Soteriological reflections. When considering the strengths and shortcomings of Scheeben’s work, we bear in mind the historical context of systematic theology of the nineteenth century. We appreciate that the author finds mutual connections between...
Teologie osvobození v době politických a církevních proměn
Liberation Theology in Times of Political and Ecclesial Change
Tim Noble
Studia Theologica 2021, 23(3):39-60 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2021.0011296
This article examines how Latin American liberation theology has changed in the past decade. It begins with a major challenge posed to liberation theology by Clodovis Boff, an important author on methodology in liberation theology. The article then examines how liberation theologians at the time and since have responded to the challenge of making liberation theology more theological. They have done this against a backdrop of two events that have had a positive impact on liberation theology’s standing. The first negative event is the worsening political and economic situation that has highlighted liberation theology’s commitment to the poor....
Mojžišova smrť podľa Gregora z Nyssy (Život Mojžiša II,305‒321)
The Death of Moses according to Gregory of Nyssa (Life of Moses II,305‒321)
Helena Panczová

Gregory develops three biblical passages which prove Moses’ perfection. (1) The circumstances of Moses’ death were unusual: there were no traces of corruption by age on his body and his grave does not exist. Gregory connects both phenomena with the main theme of the renewal of the image of God in human, i.e. with life in accordance with virtue. In the main part of the work, this process was presented on the psychic and spiritual level. With the death of Moses, one can glimpse the consequences for the body. The non-existence of the grave has a similar meaning as other expressions of the renewal of God’s image: getting rid of the garment...
Spoločnosť Ježišova a liturgia
The Society of Jesus and Liturgy
Vlastimil Dufka SJ
Studia Theologica 2021, 23(3):81-102 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2021.0301349
The stimulus for the present study is the Jubilee Ignatian Year, which will take place between 20 May, 2021 and 31 July, 2022. During this Jubilee Year, the Society of Jesus will commemorate the 500th anniversary of the injury of St. Ignatius in the battle of Pamplona and his conversion, as well as the 400th anniversary of the canonization of St. Ignatius. The study points to the historical facts that shaped the relationship between the liturgy and Ignatian spirituality. In addition to a brief historical overview of the state of the liturgy at the end of the Middle Ages and during the life of St. Ignatius, our aim was to highlight the interrelationships...
Víra působící skrze lásku: Pojetí vztahu víry a lásky u Martina Luthera v pohledu tzv. finské školy
Faith Which Worketh by Love
Karel Šimr
Studia Theologica 2021, 23(3):103-114 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2021.0091409
This article presents the concept of the relationship between faith and love, orthodoxy and orthopraxy, i.e. love for God and neighbor in Martin Luther‘s theology. It is based on the results of research by the researchers of the so-called Finnish School of Luther Interpretation. This is defined by the view of the reformer‘s thinking, marked by German neo-Kantian theology, separating God‘s being and his actions, as well as by the perspective of the Formula Concordiae, emphasizing the forensic aspect of justification. Representatives of the Finnish school note the reformer‘s connection to patristic sources in the form of an emphasis...
Tillichova koncepcia prirodzeného zákona
Tillich’s Concept of Natural Law
Pavel-Andrei Prihracki
Studia Theologica 2021, 23(3):115-134 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2021.0321260
There has been a small revival of natural law thinking in Protestant churches and theology since 1990. This article poses the question of what kind of ethics the German American theologian, philosopher and ethicist Paul Tillich espoused. More specifically what kind of natural theory did he hold? The methodological and hermeneutical key of the article is based on reading thoroughly from Tillich’s work, e.g. Morality and Beyond; Love, Power and Justice; Morality and Moralism: Towards a Theonomous ethics; Systematic Theology, etc. and quoting these sources extensively in order to avoid misconceptions. In order to answer...
K problematice „Green theology“: Spirituální obrat ke stvoření skrze mystiku Dorothee Sölle
On the Issue of “Green Theology”: A Spiritual Turn toward Creation through the Mysticism of Dorothee Sölle
Kateřina Bali
Studia Theologica 2021, 23(3):135-147 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2021.0261497
The issue of ecological theological discourses has been neglected and abandoned for a long time by the end of the theological spectrum, which resulted in the topic of Christian faith as a co-perpetrator in the context of the current ecological crisis. It is above all an anthropocentric turn in Christian faith and the interpretation of the Biblical myth of creation that has been identified as a reason which has led to the spread of ecological disaster and despotic dominance of man over nature. The theological discourse in the 1980s, however, strongly reinforced the idea of ecology, which is related to an increasingly urgent ecological state. The theological...
Synkretismus katolického křesťanství a západoafrického vodunu z teologicko-etické perspektivy
Syncretism of Catholic Christianity and West African Vodun from a Theological-Ethical Perspective
Ondřej Havelka
Studia Theologica 2021, 23(3):149-174 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2021.03312962
The paper presents the unique syncretism of Catholic Christianity and West African Vodun in Benin, Africa, and raises the problematic question of whether, in the context presented, it may be morally correct for a Catholic Christian to participate in Vodun rituals considered by outside Catholic observers to be witchcraft and thus cooperate with evil. In addition to introducing the syncretism of Catholic Christianity and West African Vodun and its theological basis, the paper introduces the relationship of the Celestial Church of Christ to West African Vodun and especially to the syncretism under consideration. In the next comprehensive part, the paper...
Formy ústní a písemné fixace qur´ánského textu: Přehled islámských a Západních perspektiv
Forms of the Oral and Written Fixation of the Qur´ān Text: An Overview of Islamic and Western Perspectives
Václava Tlili
Studia Theologica 2021, 23(3):175-198 | DOI: 10.5507/sth.2021.0341284
The study addresses the question of the historicity of the Qur´ān, the central religious text of Islam, and provides an overview of important Islamic and Western views on its formation, notation, and the specifics of oral transmission. To this end, it reflects on traditional Muslim discourse and draws primarily on the classical works of Muslim authors, which refer to important stages in the development of the sacred Scripture. It also points to some of the perspectives and approaches of Western scientists, who have entered the debate on the historicity and authenticity of the text more significantly, especially since the nineteenth century. It...
